Steve’s Required Viewing pick leaves no tears unshed as the guys are emotionally destroyed by The Remarkable Life of Ibelin, a unique Norwegian documentary about online life, coping with illness, and the need for friendship. Then they regroup to share thoughts on other recent things they’ve watched—including more enthusing about Sinners, which John finally caught.

It’s an episode bursting with positive vibes for new movies! What more could you want? Maybe if we said “John reveals something potentially embarrassing from his past,” that would hook you in. The choice is yours.

John’s Required Viewing pick for this episode is Zucker-Abrams-Zucker’s 1984 spy/Elvis/war spoof, Top Secret!, starring the late, great Val Kilmer in an early, loose-limbed comedic role. After that, Ron gives us the low-down on Drop, the brand-new Blumhouse thriller in theaters now; there’s a survey of some recent trailers for films that the guys are excited about; and finally it’s time to share a few thoughts on the White Lotus season finale.

Steve’s Required Viewing pick is an indie film that straddles a few genres, including horror, sci-fi, and psychological drama. Find out what the guys think! Also get Ron’s take on Flight Risk, a new thriller from Ambassador to Hollywood Mel Gibson in which Mark Wahlberg rocks his most interesting hairline yet!

Ron’s Required Viewing pick this week is 1986’s Howard the Duck, a silly sci-fi adventure torn from the pages of Marvel Comics. After discussing that, the guys dig into a few other things they’ve seen and spend a segment extolling the virtues of Walton Goggins, who is having a moment.

Ron, Steve, and John hop in the car with Samuel L Jackson and Geena Davis to keep tabs on 1996’s The Long Kiss Goodnight, a violent and bombastic neonoir/action/comedy thriller directed by Renny Harlin. Then they break down the other things they’ve watched recently, including Daredevil: Born Again (the latest Disney+ MCU series), and Bong Joon-Ho’s wild and funny sci-fi epic, Mickey 17. And more!

Just look at that episode title! What a bunch of stuff to talk about, and that’s without the implications of the word “more.” Are Ron, Steve, and John up to the task? Only those who listen will know.

Ron, Steve, and John talk-sing their way through the minefield of topics that is this week’s Required Viewing pick, Emilia Pérez.

Listen in to find out the answer to that, as well as some recent TV shows the guys have been watching.
